Bananas Foster
The combination of flambéed
bananas, melted butter, and the right amount of brown sugar and cinnamon is one
dessert that should be on everyone’s must-try list!
- ½ cup Hiland Dairy Salted Butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 bananas
- ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
- ½ cup dark rum
- 4 large scoops of Hiland Dairy Vanilla Ice Cream
Combine butter, sugar and cinnamon in a skillet. Place over low heat until sugar is completely dissolved.
Peel the bananas and cut them lengthwise and then in halves. Set aside.
Stir in vanilla extract and then place the bananas and walnuts in the pan.
Flip the bananas over and when bananas begin to soften and brown, slowly pour in the rum.
Immediately light the rum using a long-tipped lighter.
When the flame subsides (about 10 seconds), remove the bananas and arrange them on a plate.
Serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of the warm sauce.
